Technology move faster and faster each day. If you wait, you'll still have to wait later.

I am looking for a replacement of my TyTn II.
I will wait to see when both the HP Ipaq 610C and Imate 9502 are out. And both these models should be out very soon, say less than a month.
I will then try to go through reviews to see if these do not have major problems and decide on one.
The SE Xperia is a bit too much in the future to wait for.

You may want to wait a little longer

It really depends which Touch you are refering to...The GSM Touch with the OMAP 200mhz processor? or either the Touch Dual or Touch Cruise? IMO, they all have thier problems. OMAP is too slow and seriously outdated, and the Touch Dual/Cruise lack proper video drivers. If you have a good phone I would wait...
If you have an old phone with some issues, I would get the Touch Cruise today. Which is just what I did

i was talking about the HTC touch from sprint

Depends on what you're looking for...
...and how long you're willing to wait.
Possible cool phones that will probably show up in the next 6 months:
- iphone v2 with 3G
- more VGA phones
- Sony Xperia
- iMate 9502

You're right I got the new HP 614c since 1 week now. Works like hell. Only misfit in this : the camera is BAAAAAAAD.

What is the absolute best WM touch phone available?

I know this sounds like a very open and subjective question, and sorry for that, but I make enough money that really cost is not an issue for me. As such, while I am dreadfully happy with my XV6800, I am left wondering what I could be missing.
I have looked at the HTC Touch HD, new Omnia Touch, Touch Pro, Diamond, etc. But there are so many choices that I would like to solicit a little aid.
Here are my criteria:
1. Money is no object.
2. Any major US carrier is fine.
3. Touch screen absolutely necessary.
4. Hard Keyboard helpful but not 100% required.
Is there some WM phone out there that just has everything someone could want even at a huge pricetag? Some monster with Wifi, VGA screen, loads of RAM, 3G, and a 5+ mp camera?
Thanks in advance,
Devin

Well by looking at your criteria, I think your best bet would be a Touch HD. You can easily import one that'll work on any GSM network and it has a HUGE screen, although it does have a weird resolution, and the camera is said to be a 5MP.

touch hd is good but i don't think it is available in the us. try the touch pro aka diamond.
it is available through att as the fuze. (sprint also has a touch pro i just like gsm networks better)

Is there a somewhat easy and non-technical way to get an unlocked and imported Touch HD to work with Verison or Sprint in the US?

I thought the Touch Tro and the Diamond were two different phones? The Touch Pro has a hardware keyboard no?

Nope. The Touch HD is a GSM device, while Verizon and Sprint run on CDMA. Two different technologies.

This is true. I'd go with the touch pro (Raphael) if you want a hardware keyboard at the cost of the device being slightly thicker, but the diamond is nice as well (I've used both but only own the pro, and in my opinion I like the pro slightly more.)

If you take a peak here, you´ll be able to see what XDA members think about the best device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446362 (Only HTC models)
Hope it helps,

1. Ditch Sprint and Verizon immediately if you want a good phone
2. Order the unlocked Touch HD from Handtec ($700 delivered to your door)
3. Put in your ATT simcard with unlimited data package
4. Enjoy

The best option.

I have been offered an upgrde.What phone?

I currently have the Orbit2 which is great for buisness use,games and web.Im quite happy sticking with htc though I think I would prefer a slide out keypad next time.Soooo is it worth waiting for any new phones on the horizon ?otherwise im going to see what is on the market now.cheers.

If you dont like flashing ur phone then dont take the kaiser HTC Tytn II because its a bit slow with the original rom

I say wait for the the Touch Pro 2 to arrive in the uk then you will have the slide out keyboard and a much much sharper screen, which is always a bonus.
Thats what im doing im just glad that i still have a few months on my contract!

Had the same problem before. I Upgraded my Orbit 2 to Sonyericsson Xperia X1i.
Got that for free on o2 business tarrif but i had to add data bolt on for extra 5 pounds a month. Total 27 pounds a month. The phone is fantastic. Made by HTC but nicely finished by Sonyericsson Otherwise wait for Touch Pro 2 but it may not be available from O2 directly...

Wait for Touch Pro 2 or Xperia 2, if you need keyboard and have time to wait.

100% wait for the touch pro 2, that is one beautiful phone, just put off upgrading for now until it is released on o2. The Kaiser (Stellar if your on o2) by the way is actually a downgrade to the Orbit 2 so don't go for that.

Buying Advice Requested From Those Who Are Smarter Than Me

At the end of the summer, I'm hoping to buy a new HTC phone. I don't have a data plan (I rely on Wi-Fi), so it doesn't matter if it has European or American 3G frequencies, I just need it to work with AT&T (GSM).
I was hoping to get one of the following:
HTC Touch 3G (cheapest)
HTC Touch Diamond2 (sexiest)
HTC Touch HD (biggest)
I have an LG Incite, and I'm hoping to upgrade to a quality phone. I can barely stand this POS. Spocky, his ROM developments, and this forum are really the only reasons I can even use it. I would really prefer the HTC Touch HD because I want a large phone due to my large stature, and I want the Touch 3G because I'd prefer not to spend too much. And the Touch Diamond2 is just hot.
Any and all suggestions are welcome, even if they're not on the list.

I´m not sure I´m smarter than you, but I would say go for Diamond 2!

Well, rumor has it (and by rumor I mean official documentation) that the Diamond2 is coming to AT&T, so that could be a win.

Yes I heard that, also TP2 will come to that provider

I would probably prefer that, actually, as I'm all for hard keyboards. Though it currently costs an arm and a leg.
Probably two legs now, seeing as how the value of most currencies are decreasing right now, including limbs.

HTC Touch Diamond 2 ... the 3.5 adapter is basically the only con....

That's really why I want the Touch HD.
With the death of my Zune (I think it got kicked in the chest by Charlie Murphy), my phone has been my main MP3 player. And I could never lose my Zune Premium headphones.

What i should buy?

Hi all..
again this very same question..
my first PPC was a QTEK 9090 (from audiovox), it was so fast and reliable that i have fallen in love with it, but its only CDMA and i needed GSM, so i decided to move on and upgrade to one more complete, the HP hw6945 (AKA Htc Sable), and i'm so disappointed with it.. its freacking slow, it hangs all the time, and now out of the sudden it stopped working.. the complete opposite from the QTEK....so, i'm going to buy a new one, this time, with more research .. and i hope to have more good times with this new one..
what i'm looking foward is a good sized screen, fast cpu, gps, reliability!!.
so, what u guys recomend to me?
i have seen some on the net..
htc touch pro
sony xperia
nokia n97
what else??? please give me your opinion and suggestions.

Depends on Carrier.. You said GSM So its either ATT or TMO
If TMO Get the new MyTouch
if ATT Get a HTC Branded Magic
There basically the same phone except that the Magic branded device has more ram & will work on ATT 3g Instead of TMO 3g.. & Although I would like the extra ram its not worth giving up 3g since I am a tmo Cust..
& If android isnt your cup of tea then get the Touch Pro or Diamond (or the #2 versions of each, but I am not a fan of the new styling & love the pocketability (is that a word) of the original diamond).

Neither.. I assumed you were in the US.. Whatever carrier you get should use the Same bands as AT&T though so my recomendation for them follows.. Also the hero is a solid device with identical specs but doesn't have the trackball.. Personally I like the Magic styling better..

If you can hold out for a bit, I suggest you wait another 3-4 months. Right now, most of the phones that you will see are ~528 mhz. By the end of this year, the SnapDragon chipset will come out (1 GHZ). Mostly all the phones mentioned above are all 528. If you can wait a little longer, you can get double the speed for ~$200 extra.

Hello to all...
I am new here and my name is Allen and i would suggest same as Orb3000 that
You must have a look to:
Touch Pro 2
Toshiba TG01
